Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

All the warnings fell on deaf ears, huh? Must be service-related hearing-loss.

“It is one thing to just not deliver,” she said. “But to act in the way that he has, which is so dehumanizing, so cruel… this is why we are seeing the beginnings of real cracks with this president and his base.”

The beginnings of real cracks? WTF? He doesn't need you any more! You elected him already. Why would he possibly care? If he's president beyond the end of this term, it won't be because a free, fair and legal election took place! Why would he fucking care one ounce of a fart what you, a powerless nonentity, think of him? There's nothing you can offer him in the future. He only ever cares what you can do for him. He has never cared what he can do for you. Ever.

were lied to

No shit, Sherlock! The world's most famous, prolific and egregious liar whose desperately stupid lies were pointed out to you many, many times, and just today you realised he was lying to you too? How utterly stupid are you?

Your last paragraph is what surprises me the most, because that's just not the case. Project 2025 was very clear, they weren't lied to, they just heard what they wanted to hear.

Actually, you're right.

Conservatives broadly fine care about suffering and hardship unless it directly and specifically affects them. Even then it doesn't always sink in, either.

Continuing to fund anti-abortion efforts even as they pay for another mistress' mysterious trips out of state.
